I do applaud the LW for her honesty, but I can tell her from experience that her concerns are more than a bit shallow...the fact is that if she is looking for a LTR, she should understand that sexual interest comes and goes, but the feelings she needs to sustain the relationship are exactly what she describes experiencing with this man...if she really wants to pursue this guy, she should help him explore where his weight issues come from--there may be a pathology involved that she can help him resolve. There is no question that our culture has produced people with weight problems, but there are ways to address them--working on this together will probably bring this couple closer, if he is open to this inquiry. She should approach this is a health problem, not as an aesthetic problem...eventually I think she will see it as such if she begins to really care about him...
